Forming the Simple Past : Part 2

Forming the Simple Past: part 1

Simple Past: Negative

Para formar el negativo:

Usamos didn´t y el verbo principal de la oración queda en infinitivo.
ex: She didn´t go to the supermarket this morning.
     Did he wash his car? No,he didn´t.

Past Simple: Interrogative

Para formar el interrogativo usaremos el auxiliar did y el verbo principal de la oración queda en infinitivo.
ex: Did you go to the cinema yesterday? (¿Fuiste al cine ayer?)
     Yes,I did./No,I didn´t.
     What did you cook? (¿Que cocinaste?) I cooked spaghetti.
En la respuesta  (que no es Yes o No) desaparece did y el verbo vuelve a pasado.

Past Simple

Como se forma el Past Simple:

Además del verbo To be que ya vimos, los demás verbos se dividen en verbos regulares e irregulares
Los verbos regulares agregan ed al verbo base
ex: play (jugar)= played
     cook(cocinar)=cooked
     work(trabajar)=worked
Los verbos irregulares no siguen esta regla y deberemos consultar la lista de verbos irregulares
ex: go (ir)=went
     have(tener)=had
     sleep(dormir)=slept
